Intro: {F  C  Am   G} X 4 
 
F              C   Am  G  F             C   Am   G 
Well I started out,       down a dirty road 
F       C  Am   G     F     C  Am   G 
Started out           all alone 
F                C   Am   G  F                C    Am  G   
And the sun went down,       as I crossed the hill 
F               C   Am  G    F              C   Am  G   
As the town lit up,          the world got still 
 
 
Chorus: 
F               C   Am  G   F               C    Am  G   
I?m learning to fly,        but I ain?t got wings 
F      C   Am  G   F              C    Am  G   
Coming down        is the hardest thing 
 
 
F                 C   Am  G   F        C   Am   G 
Well the good ol? days,       may not return 
F                 C   Am  G  F               C   Am   G 
And the rocks may melt       and the sea may burn 
 
 
(Chorus) 
(solo) 
 
F             C   Am  G   F             C   Am   G 
Well some say life        will beat you down, 
F          C    Am  G   F          C    Am   G 
Break your heart,       steal your crown 
F            C   Am  G   F             C   Am   G 
So I started out,        for god knows where 
F            C   Am  G   F          C   Am   G 
I guess I?ll know        when I get there 
 
F               C   Am  G   F          C      Am  G   
I?m learning to fly,        around the clouds, 
F             C   Am  G   F         C    Am  G   
But what goes up          must come down
